As a follow-up to the Amplify Action exhibition opening and in an effort to extend the reach of the exhibition's message, an Evening for Educators was held last Thursday for over 30 Brooklyn-based arts educators. The goal of the evening was to provide these educators with strategies to incorporate themes of community sustainability, as emphasized in the Amplify Action exhibition, into their daily practice.
Amplify Action artists Aya Rodriguez-Izumi and Ryan Doberstein presented educators of all levels and content areas with useful tools to make meaningful curriculum connections to the exhibition. The artists began by sharing their work with the attendees and discussing their influences, inspirations, and practical tactics. With the guidance of these teaching artists, attendees then explored sustainable art materials and techniques.
It is our hope that the attendees of this workshop will take what they have learned and apply it to their individual classroom curricula, inspiring students throughout Brooklyn to engage critically in themes of community sustainability.
